Gee, thanks
That aside, fantastic image. I love the shading, and the plain drama induced by the pose. I also like the little detail that makes him look like he;s smiling. I really have to wonder how many people became plague doctors just because it meant they could get away with beating people with canes

Ah, yes, finally.
Someone else who represents a Plague Doctor not as a force against pestilence.. But as a representation of Pestilence himself.
Nice work on this. ;D

Kaz, you ought to work in monochrome more often. Especially this no-line method.
There's a bold, rough grittiness in most of your work that becomes startlingly apparent, and increasingly beautiful, without the dense structure of your lines to support it. The choppiness of light and shadow feels more natural and tends to flow seamlessly; splendidly contradictory when you consider how blocky and rough most of the areas are.
In this piece particularly, everything works together to glide your eyes through the multiple focal points - the mask, down along the torso and arm of the robe to his hand. I'm also seriously digging the grain. I wish dA wasn't messing with your colours, though. I kind of prefer the rosy, duskier tone I'm seeing on the smaller image than the muddier, greener shades on the downloadable one. Which is the intended version?

wow, thanks for the long comment!
yeah this was an exercise in losing my lines, which I'd really like to start doing more in my work. I find that I rely on lines a lot to define shapes, though... so actually painting without them tends to make me want to make generic spacial decisions. jsdijfaoisjf I will paint like this more often, it's obvious that I need practise haha
I actually had a LOT of trouble with the hand and it still doesn't look quite as strong as the rest of it, but I guess the main focus is the face anyway. not sure what's going on with the colour? also I think my monitors really need to be calibrated because it looks pretty rosy to me either way lol

Oh wow this is incredible! The highlights and shading is so dramatic it gives it an almost 3D look!
